Do’s and Don'ts Before Bridal Makeup

Prior to the wedding there are a few things that a bride must do before the bridal makeup to look and feel the best.

Many of you are going to be getting married soon and are very excited for this. You will be leaving your family and moving to your husband's place. Your room, eating habits, childhood habits, will all be left behind, and you will start living with your husband's family. You are all aware about this part of Indian culture.

Prior to the wedding there are a few things you must do to look and feel your best. Let me tell you about it.

1.  Before starting your make up there is something you must do. Dunk your face in a bowl filled with ice to reduce the oil production and appearance of pores. This reduces oiliness and makes your skin tight. You can also rub ice on your face. This will help your makeup glide over your face smoothly and you will look the best.

2. Remember to use the washroom before you get all decked up. Only then proceed with the ceremonies. Otherwise you will look very uncomfortable and the pictures will not be good. So make sure you use the washroom before. Don't forget to eat before getting dressed up. You should not keep yourself devoid of food and energy on your D-Day. Then you can enter with a big smile on your face.

3. It's best to get a make-up trial, a few weeks before the date.  It helps the make-up artist play with colours and understand what products work on your skin. So that on the wedding day you can look your best. Otherwise your makeup will not match your outfit. So do a makeup trial a week before the wedding. Do not forget.

4. Prior to the wedding you will have to run around shopping in the sun. This makes your skin dull and you won't look good. So make sure whenever you go out in the sun apply sunscreen 50+ SPF on your face.

Now here are the Dont’s:

1. Avoid washing your hair on the wedding day. It might get difficult for the hairstylist to do certain updos. So wash your hair a day or two prior so that the hairstylist can do create great hairstyles for you. Those who want to wash their hair, avoid using conditioners as it makes hair too smooth for certain hairstyles. So avoid using conditioners.

2. Do not eat junk food or oily food at least 2 weeks prior to the wedding day. You can be healthy and fresh for the wedding. 

3. A week prior to the wedding many couples do pre-wedding photoshoots in outdoor locations. You will be standing in the sun and it can damage the skin. So plan your pre-wedding photoshoot way before the wedding. Do it a month or two before the wedding. Then your face can get back its glow. So remember this point.

4. Don't experiment with any kind of cream or facial treatment a few days before the big day. It may have a bad reaction to your skin. ISH News has interpreted Satvic Movement's videos which give natural remedies.

5. Don’t drink Alcohol before the special day because it will show major puffiness the next morning. So make sure when you drink, you drink one glass of water after every drink so that you avoid a hangover the next day.

6. Bride should not go out anywhere at least 1 week prior to the wedding day. It will protect your skin and your health as well. Do all your shopping in advance. A week or 15 days before the wedding you can relax and then enjoy the wedding festivities.

Now that you have learnt about the Do's and Don't you can use them if you are planning to get married soon.
